@BethanyAndoko @thehopefulscie1 @KelseyHCollins @TiffanyTKP @prismtjandra @UCSFOrthosurg @KristineGodziuk What a great talk! Awesome job, Hope!!

[Bethany Andoko @BethanyAndoko]

Ended a jam-packed day at #ORS2025 with talks from @thehopefulscie1 and others to discuss interdisciplinary approaches to solutions for OA👏

I am constantly inspired by Hope, who presented on the metabolome of knee OA patients following 18-mo weight loss interventions #ORSSMC

[Hope Welhaven, PhD @thehopefulscie1]

Starting #ORS2025 with a phenomenal talk from @SadeWill93 on how #aging and the immune system alter and magnify IVD in both males and females, and more so, how #pain fits into this complex relationship 👏🏼🧬

The first paper from PhD student @MaxineOlson27 is out. She developed an algorithm to distribute a ground reaction force into multiple vectors to allow for calculation of midfoot and ankle moments using standard clinical gait lab equipment.

Check out our comprehensive transcriptomic comparison of inner and outer zone meniscus tissue to cartilage and passaged meniscus cells to identify meniscus specific genes @SciReports. https://t.co/4puMecbTpj @DukeOrtho @KaileenFei @DaDchasse @nnakelly2

[McNulty Lab @mcnultylab]

Check out our latest paper in @FrontBioeng showing that healthy but not osteoarthritic meniscus-derived matrix scaffolds can promote ex vivo meniscus repair. This was a great collaboration with our clinical colleagues @DukeOrtho @FirooziSaman @DaDchasse https://t.co/V7HcACQjPk
